Since it is replacing people, will AI get to vote?

You laugh, but there will be debates on sentience, consciousness, and rights.

Yes
So the wealth divide likely widens as there will be those at the top who own the results of the increased productivity and those that input the data….
One area that I can’t see AI impacting much- comedy. Can AI make us laugh more than humans?

Yep, I can read the legislation already. Humans are funny creatures. Led by programs to support artificial intelligence.
The new movie "Terminator 7 - Let Us Help You" will open soon.

Even your surgeons will eventually push a "self-driving" button to dissect straight down to a tumor/mass.
So here is an anecdotal story of two friends - first one had 95% blockages and had open-heart surgery. A short while later another friend got diagnosed with 85 to 90% blockages in an area that was tricky and close to the heart. This is in Florida and they wanted to do open-heart surgery. The second person contacted doctors in Atlanta in Chicago that do it robotically and had it done in Chicago.
It was a seven hour surgery on a Friday he was released Sunday had one follow up visit on Wednesday and went to the Illinois football game that next Saturday and then came home. He is back to working out. My other friend was almost 30 pounds and it's barely back six months later.

Where is the money to support all of these hands on jobs?
For that matter, where is the money to pay for all the products and services the Fortune 500 companies exploiting AI create when 75% of workers no longer have an income?

Wake up one day, look out your front door and 300 robots are building a new data center because they decided this is where it should go

Companies will not hold on to people over profits. Educated workforce will be laid off with no where to go.
We still live in a market economy. Productivity tools like AI only survive if they deliver real value to consumers—otherwise, the market kills them.
How exactly does destroying your customer base create “enhanced value”? What will all this AI produce when demand vanishes because the consumers are suddenly unemployed?
Supply and demand are two sides of the same coin. Unless we’ve fundamentally misunderstood how markets work, no innovation scales massively if it destroys demand instead of creating it.
No mass employment -> no mass demand -> no need for mass supply.
So what exactly will Fortune 500 companies sell to fund the power-hungry data centers and keep advanced AI running?
Serious question.

If I'm understanding Yang's argument, I believe it is that companies will chase short term profits at the detriment of long-term survival. Yang calls it "The frickening." It's hard for me to wrap my brain around because with my own company long-term survival is the #1 factor I look at when making decisions, but I'm also not in charge of a publicly-traded company.
If company A's valuation goes up because of AI implementation and lay-offs, Company B will chase that and have their own lay-offs and AI implementation. Then it all comes crashing down. It's an arms race towards destruction.

There has to eventually be an inflection point, right? Businesses and corporations choosing profits over people on this scale doesn't seem sustainable. People will revolt against a future like that, right?
Own a business and your biggest headache are the people.
So I get it.

We already see our existing power infrastructure challenged. To create and distribute all the required energy for this will take massive long term capital investment (they are not going to displace 75% of worked just by getting a Copilot license).
Companies do not commit to such long term investments without thoroughly evaluating the IRR which includes evaluating future demand and revenues.
